my amd based pc clone never crashes.
the advantage of the amd Pc imho is the low price for a system,
and the fact that there are so many audio software options and soundcard options.
the pc is quite capable of doing 100 tracks.
i got a flyer today from pgmusic.com. powertracks - 48 digital audio tracks - price has been lowered to 29 dollars.
i have been using powertracks now for many years and recently added magix audio studio which costs 49 bucks.
with both packages i can do any song and get any special effect i would ever want.
get a amd 2ghz pc plus powertracks and/or magix and just go to town. but makesure you get a good quality sound card.
if you want to spend lots of money, buy a lynx or rme soundcard.
if you want really good audio on the cheap get an audiophile
24/96 which is far better sound card than i used to do several of my songs that charted at soundclick.com.
fyi - the mac WAS a leader in big studios in the early years because the PC did not have the power, but now the Pc is doing
multitracking in studios large and small because of its power and low price. as i say - if you dont believe me - ask on many pro audio forums.
